I see your smile everyday

you catch my stare

and I turn away

but a moment later I look again

and again I feel that familiar pain.

I want you here, now by my side

but when you come close

I run and hide

There is no reason

I don't know why

All I know is that I need some time

So if you wonder what I'm trying to do

I wrote this poem to say

'I love you'
